Well, first off, call the police. Then, call the rental car company. You are going to be in alot of trouble with the company if the theft was caused by something you did, like leaving the door unlocked or the window down. If you did not purchase rental insurance on the vehicle, then you are probably going to have to pay for the car.

Can a rental car company report the car as stolen?
Absolutely, if their car is not returned when stated in the rental agreement, the car is and will be reported stolen.
Do rental cars get stolen and if so do the rental companies have theft insurance?
Unfortunately - yes, rental cars do get stolen. Most rental comapnies have theft insurance, but usually have some sort of deductible. Rental cars get stolen from customers all the time. If you were to accept the Lost Damage Waiver from most companies, the car would be covered, there is NO deductible. Now if you were to leave the keys in the car, or give them to someone and they took off with the car; you are out of luck. This is correct. LDW/CDW (depends on the state) would cover the car as long as the contract was not violated and as long as it wasn't stolen due to your neglect to protecting the car.

It goes to collections. If you are still in possession of the car after you agreed to return it, then it will be reported stolen, as in "theft by fraud."

Does car insurance cover items stolen from a car?
That depends on the policy that you have with your insurance company. When I had my truck broken into, my policy covered the iPod and stereo that were stolen, plus my rental while my truck was in the shop.
When can a rental car company report the car stolen if you are latte?
It depends on the company, and it depends on how late you are, and how much effort the company has made to contact you to arrange the return. Reporting a car stolen is a hassle for the rental agency, and they would prefer to avoid having to do it. The company can, however, penalize you in other ways besides reporting the car stolen. Not the least among these is additional charges for the extra time you kept the car, and possibly fines for doing so without prior authorization. If you want to keep your rental beyond the time originally negotiated on your contract, CALL your agent or rental branch and talk to them about it. They want to work it out with you, not give you a hard time.

Yes. If a customer refuses to return a rental car, the company may report it as stolen. The police will come looking for it (and you), and you may be charged with grand theft auto. The company will consider this an extreme step, and they will try to negotiate with you before doing this because it's a huge hassle for the company.
Can you report a car stolen if the person you had a rental contract with has not paid or returned the car and you do not know where their located?
Yes, you can report the car stolen. This is technically called a "Conversion", which means the car was converted to a stolen status because it was kept longer than the contract allowed. I would wait at least a week, and try several methods of contacting the renter before notifying the police. It is unlikely that your car will be returned quickly by reporting it stolen. The real power is in the threat of reporting it. This is usually enough to scare the renter into promptly returning the vehicle. Tell them that it will be considered a felony if you report the car stolen and they are caught. Of course, this assumes you can get ahold of them to deliver the threat.
